It is not the responsibility of the of the bonus recipients that priorities change after the bonuses were given. I don't see CEO's having their golden parachutes or bonuses taken away when goals aren't met.

When it comes to that, why do we the people continue to pay useless Congress men and women? That's right, we have to, because we vote them in again and again. Our fault

Military Bonuses By Franklin Price 10/25/2016 Military bonuses I'm hearing in the news Are asking to be paid back From the people that they choose From the military people Who signed up and that's a fact Due to bonuses they got On the hill there's little tact Do not care the money's spent That the bonuses a clause In the enlistment papers Why take it back? Well just because I've got a better idea Let's take back the money spent On the Congress that's in Washington Have not earned why they were sent For sure their lives not on the line They barely hit a lick Then vote themselves another raise Their greed just makes me sick Leave alone the bonuses The military spent Against the waste that's on the hill It doesn't even make a dent If Congress didn't do it Who's there to clear the beef? The decision is the President's The Commander and the Chief.
